chapter 285: Start with the People Around You

Claire opened her arms and shielded Belle and Jon without regard for her own safety.

Belle looked at Joseph and winked, tugging gently on Claire’s pants, “Mommy this sir is nice…”

“He is not!”

Claire chided Belle, “Belle, didn’t Mommy tell you not to talk to strangers?”

Belle pouted. Her mommy had never been this mean to her in all her life.

As soon as Joseph saw Belle’s aggrieved look, there was anger inside of him.

The kids were so cute. How could Claire yell at them!

“Claire!”

“Don’t you call my name!”

Claire interrupted him with an extremely cold attitude, “I don’t have anything to do with you. In fact, we are enemies. I’d like to ask you to stay away from my children and not to disturb my life!”

The parents who came to pick up their children from school looked over curiously. Most of these parents were doing business and Claire had been on a lot of news recently, so quite a lot of people knew her.

Claire frowned and shook her wrist, only to have Joseph grip it tighter, “Sooner or later we’re going to have to clear things up between us, and I’ll just have to start with the people close to you if you keep avoiding me like

this.”

He was threatening her with Belle and Jon.

Claire gritted her teeth in anger, for a mother, the safety of her children was the most important thing. Although she knew that Joseph would not do anything to hurt her children, it did not mean that his men would not do anything.

She took a deep breath, trying desperately to suppress the anger in her heart, “Okay, I can talk to you, but Belle and Jon need to go home first.”

Joseph was relieved as he knew that her agreeing to talk to him was the biggest concession she could make, although he really wanted more contact with Belle and Jon.
